Dovetail Social, Highgate Hill

Dovetail Social, Highgate Hill Charming and super friendly coeliac friendly suburban cafe and bakery in Highgate Hill + GF High Tea

Dovetail on Overend, our first cafe, launched in 2014, and has become well known in our community for our service, quality, and providing a safe space for coeliacs to dine. Our second location Dovetail Social, Highgate Hill, launched in January 2021. Both locations feature our flavour-focussed food menu, amazing black or milk-based coffees, our famous fresh chai, and our freshly baked gluten free

donuts and desserts (baked onsite daily)

Our space:
• Located just a few minutes from Brisbane CBD
• Tranquil suburban setting, ample stress-free parking
• Breezy alfresco dining
• Bookings and walk-in diners are welcome

Our service philosophy:
• Our team is super friendly and attentive
• We're efficient, but never at the expense of quality

Food Menu:
• Customer favourites include our Baked Eggs #7 - featuring our famous house Chilli Con Carne, Breakkie Pizza (covered with Maple Bacon), our Adobo Bowl (based on Filipino's super tasty national dish), vegan-friendly Breakkie Rice Buddha Bowl, and of course our legendary Reuben, the classic!
• Every dish on our menu can be prepared Gluten Free in a dedicated kitchen space - so when we say it's Gluten Free, we really mean it is 100% Coeliac-Friendly.
• We never charge extra for Gluten Free, EVER!! Dessert Menu:
• Our famous donuts are baked fresh daily
• We only bake gluten free desserts in our oven (zero risk of gluten cross-contamination), but if we didn't tell you they are gluten free you would never guess it
• Customer favourites include our Yamington (Purple Yam Lamington), Lemon Blueberry or Passionfruit Raspberry donuts; chocolate marshmallow mini cakes; and our amazing Christmas Ginger Bread Houses
• We also bake a much larger range of bespoke cakes and desserts (eg our gluten free Sticky Pecan Scrolls), and Gluten Free High Tea in our new space Dovetail Social, Highgate Hill - these can all be ordered easily from our website dovetailsocial.com.au

We look forward to welcoming you to our two Dovetail locations soon!

One of our most-loved brunch dishes. ❤️

Our Baked Eggs No.7 is the perfect comfort meal for a cool Brisbane morning- slow-cooked chilli con carne, baked eggs, feta cheese, and served with sourdough or gluten-free toast for dipping.

Rich, hearty and packed with flavour, it’s easy to see why it’s become a Dovetail favourite.

5 reasons coeliacs love Dovetail 💜

As a coeliac family, we understand the importance of feeling confident when dining out. That experience shaped the way we built Dovetail.

From our housemade gluten-free baked treats and dedicated gluten-free toaster to a fryer used exclusively for gluten-free food and our fully gluten-free High Tea, every decision is made with care.

We hope Dovetail is a place where people with coeliac disease can relax, dine with confidence, and enjoy delicious food alongside everyone else.

“Can I eat here?”

For most people, that’s a simple question.

For a Coeliac, it can be exhausting.

I’m Adam, and I’ve been Coeliac for many years.

I’ve lost count of the times I’ve stood in front of a cabinet full of beautiful pastries, cakes and food, only to realise there was nothing I could safely eat.

Or the times I’ve been told something was “gluten free” only to discover later that it wasn’t truly Coeliac-safe.

It’s one of the reasons Rejoice and I opened Dovetail on Overend in 2014, and later Dovetail Social in Highgate Hill.

We didn’t want to create a café with a few gluten-free options.

We wanted to create the café we wished existed for our family.

A place where a Coeliac can enjoy breakfast, lunch, coffee, donuts and dessert without feeling like the difficult person at the table.

A place where families don’t have to eat separately.

A place where grandparents can bring their Coeliac grandchild and simply say:

“Order whatever you’d like.” ❤️

That’s still what drives us today.

✨ Every dessert we make is gluten free.
✨ Our team is trained in cross-contamination awareness.
✨ Every day we meet people who tell us they had no idea a café like this existed in Brisbane.

If that’s you, we’d love to welcome you.

And if you’ve visited us before, we’d be incredibly grateful if you’d tag or share this with another Coeliac who might still be searching for their café.

❤️ Adam, Rejoice & Bella
